In Reply to: Thanks! I will be going with the MA500's. (eom) posted by WSB on January 26, 2000 at 07:13:14:
My experience is different than Jim's. On speakers that could get a little bright, I found the Marantz's compounded the problem. The last thing i would do is use MA500's in a bright system.The Odyssey Stratos is 150 wpc for $900. It is the best ss amp I've heard in my system and is yards better thant he Marantz. Unfortunately mine has lost a channel twice in 1 year so I can't really recommend it.
There are many things which can make a system sound bright, including the shelving the amp is sitting on. On high quality audio grade shelving, Marantz presents a mellow sonic signature, all other things in the system being equally "neutral" sounding.
Yup. Just a word of caution was all. I had several pairs of speakers, amps, pres and cdps when I had the Marantz. They could add a touch of brightness in some combos. As noted below, it wasn't noticeable at all with the VSR's, but they are a very smooth speaker. With the Mirages I never noticed brightness except with the Marantz's and then it was really bad. If I already thought my system was bright, it would not be an amp I would just assume I could drop in with good results.
